Originally designed as a practical electric vehicle for daily commutes, school runs, and weekend errands, the VinFast VF 3 is now proving it can do much more. The compact electric SUV has recently been deployed by police agencies in both the Philippines and Indonesia, demonstrating its versatility beyond personal mobility. These latest applications highlight how the VF 3’s compact dimensions, low operating costs, and electric powertrain make it an ideal solution not only for families but also for public service and government fleet operations.
In the Philippines, the Municipality of Noveleta in Cavite has introduced the VF 3 as part of its electric police patrol fleet, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable governance and modern public safety. As the first municipality in the CALABARZON region to adopt EV mobility goals, Noveleta is utilizing the VF 3 to support local patrol operations while reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Supplied through VinFast Marikina and Xentro, the initial deployment is expected to expand as the municipality continues modernizing its vehicle fleet.

Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the VinFast VF 3 has taken on a specialized role under the National Traffic Police Corps’ Precision Drone Patrol ETLE program. The vehicle has been modified to transport and deploy traffic-monitoring drones, with its rear compartment redesigned to house drone equipment and related gear. Thanks to its compact size, agile handling, and SUV-inspired ground clearance, the VF 3 allows officers to navigate congested city streets, narrow roads, and busy urban environments with ease while supporting technology-driven traffic enforcement initiatives.
These deployments reflect a growing global shift toward electric mobility for government and public service fleets. With a driving range of up to 215 kilometers, DC fast charging that replenishes the battery from 10% to 70% in approximately 36 minutes, and lower operating and maintenance costs than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, the VF 3 delivers practical advantages for both fleet operators and everyday motorists. Complemented by its 7-year or 160,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, 10-year battery warranty, expanding service network, and access to free charging at V-Green stations, the VF 3 continues to gain momentum across Southeast Asia as an affordable, practical, and highly versatile electric SUV that is equally at home on city streets, family errands, and public service missions.
In Vietnam, where VinFast has remained the country’s best-selling automotive brand for 20 consecutive months, the VF 3 has become one of its strongest-selling models, with more than 20,000 units delivered during the first five months of 2026 alone. As demand continues to grow across the Philippines, Indonesia, and the rest of Southeast Asia, the VF 3 is proving that big capability can come in a compact package. Whether serving families, businesses, or law enforcement agencies, the “Tiny Titan” continues to redefine what buyers can expect from an entry-level electric vehicle.
